The Now
He said it was a moment of darkness,
Yes we know
Some of us far too well,
The deafening echo of the death bell;
in an instance a family is draped in sadness.
And now we question ourselves
But who am I kidding?
We’ve been questioning ourselves;
Questions upon questions
Followed by millions of answers
But not one could suffice.
Because it’s no longer a moment of darkness
It’s a world of blackness,
Filled with people intoxicated and consumed
Living on anger and gloom
By now blind to any trace of color
Because us humans have forgotten
To see humanity in each other.
